'Talk some about letting your father go as your manager,' Winfrey asks, the clip cutting to Beyonce nodding as she contemplates a question.

Mathew, and Beyonce's mother Tina, played a pivotal role in Beyoncé's career.

He quit his job as a medical
equipment salesman to manage the singer's early group, Girl's Tyme,
which eventually morphed into Destiny's Child in 1990.

Twenty-one years later, in 2011, she
ended their professional relationship, while relaying that their
personal relationship remained full 'of love'.

Rumours circulated about more going on behind-the-scenes than Beyonce let on as Mathew and Tina headed for divorce.

Ties were after all not easy to sever with
Mathew having producer credits on many of his daughter's projects and
serving as the founder of Music World Entertainment, a label that,
through Columbia Records, has released albums by Beyoncé, sister Solange
Knowles, Sunshine Anderson, and former Destiny's Child members Kelly
Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Beyoncé has only spoken briefly in the past about the pair's relationship.

'It took a while for me and my dad to have an understanding', she once said.

'When I turned 18 and started
handling my business more, he went into shock. And we had our issues.
I'd say "No" to something, and he'd book it anyway.

'Then I'd have to do it because I'd
look bad [if I didn't]. We would fight sometimes, and it took about two
years, to when I was 20, for him to realise, "Oh, she is an adult now,
and if she doesn't wanna do something, I can't make her do it."'

The women will also apparently touch
on the miscarriage Beyoncé kept private for years, her husband, Jay-Z,
and their baby daughter, Blue Ivy.

The premiere: Beyonce and Oprah Winfrey speak onstage at the HBO sat down on stage at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City on Tuesday, ahead of the premiere of her new documentary, Life Is But A Dream

The couple married in 2008 but have been notoriously tight-lipped about their relationship.

Since the birth of their first child in January 2012, Beyonce has slowly opened up about her home life.

In a more light-hearted moment,
Winfrey asks: 'When you get to the point when you can say, on camera,
"I'm going to make love to my husband... How big is the Carter family
going to expand to?'

Beyonce laughs.

'Lord, I'm gonna have me a time,' she says in another clip as the video cuts to the next question.

The women also talked about Beyonce's new HBO documentary, Life Is But A Dream.

The film, which Beyonce co-directed, is part of a return to performing after a year off since Blue Ivy was born.

The HBO film shows footage of a
sonogram, Beyonce's growing bump and grainy video of herself posing nude
as she neared her due date.

She also opens up about the
miscarriage kept secret from the public until Jay-Z referred to it in
his song Glory, released after their daughter's birth.

In the documentary, Beyonce touched on the topic briefly, saying, 'It was the saddest thing I've ever been through.'

'My life is a journey. ... I had to
go through my miscarriage, I believe I had to go through owning my
company and managing myself ... ultimately your independence comes from
knowing who you are and you being happy with yourself,' she said.

Beyonce has also announced a new album for this year.

The Mrs Carter Show World Tour -
Jay-Z's real name is Shawn Carter - will kick off in April with more
than 40 performances in Europe and North America.

Life is But a Dream airs on HBO on Saturday, the same day as Beyonce's interview with Oprah Winfrey on the OWN cable channel.
